Dear Sociology 201 students,
Hello! I'm Bronwen Maxson, an Instruction Librarian and Liaison to Sociology. On Tuesday, September 25, I'll join your class to provide a research strategy workshop to help prepare you for your Soc 201 projects.
To-do List:
We will begin the library workshop with a review of the information presented in the tutorial and video. Hope everyone's semester is off to a good start!
Click on the image below or the link at the bottom of this section to be taken to the tutorial start screen.
Through this tutorial you will learn how to:
access Sociological Abstracts
construct a search
apply useful database limiters
access full-text of articles
generate citations in ASA format
1. Connect to the campus network via the VPN if you are off-campus. You will need this connection to access one or more library databases while taking the tutorial.
2. Take the short quiz at the end of the tutorial. Enter your email address AND your professor's email address. Afterwards locate the email confirmation. These emails often go to your SPAM folder, so be sure to check there. It is often easiest to search in your email account for the phrase "Results for Using Sociological Abstracts" to find your email confirmation.
3. You are ready! Click on the link above to start the tutorial. Follow the instructions on the left hand of the screen and, as directed, complete activities in the main screen.
Use an article's citations trails to find more information related to your research. This video will show you how to locate an article's citation trails in Web of Science, Google Scholar, and UC Library Search. (3 min.)
